    Happy Friday!

    For today’s Favorite Things Friday, I’m gonna keep it short: I love Trucker Hats! The end.

    I like that I can quickly throw them over messy hair and still make me somewhat put together. lol. The large brim also acts as additional sun protection (or to keep rain off my face). Some people like expensive purses or shoes. Me? I like me a cute trucker hat… and I’m a happy girl. #cheapdate

    There are a ton of cute prints you can find on Etsy (like the gold mermaid one I have in the picture above). On Etsy there are also sellers who will let you customize your hats so you can write whatever you want! Such a great gift idea

    If you follow me on Snapchat (@FreeStuffFinder) you probably seem me wearing the pink pineapple trucker hat from Mother Trucker. I’ve also gotten several cute hats from them. They run 20% off promotions regularly on all their hats.  They also have a section where you can shop for kiddos too! My daughter Sophie has the matching pineapple hat in white.

    Favorite Things Friday: Dinner Winner Kids Dinner Trays (Making Meal Time Fun)

    UPDATE: This Giveaway is now over! Winner announcement has been posted on my homepage. See more Giveaways being dropped on my blog here.

    My son Ryan is kind of a picky eater (he takes after my husband, Mr FSF ). While my daughter Sophie isn’t a picky eater, she would start to mimic her brother’s behaviors (and verbal complaints), and before you know it, meal times can turn into a battle of wills. Me vs them. And it usually ends in tears.

    Then last year I discovered these plates made by Fred & Friends called “Dinner Winner“. They are designed to encourage kids to finish their food. If you follow me on SnapChat, you may have seen me use these plates when preparing meals for my kids.

    I LOVE these trays! They are so fun and colorful. Each tray is set up like a little board game, where you follow a “map” of food to a ” hidden treasure”.  When you finish the trail of food, the last placement is a covered spot for a hidden treat.   This is your “bait”. #Genius!

    The first day I brought these plates out, they were an instant hit! And they really did motivate both my kiddos to finish their food, including things they didn’t like. I’ve since gotten these trays in pretty much every pattern . They really do make mealtime more fun, and can motivate and encourage picky eaters to finish their meals (and even try new things). I typically put a little piece of chocolate in the treat spot and that does the trick.

    Anyway, it’s been a lot of fun preparing their meals and watching them use these trays. If you have a fussy eater, or you just want to add some fun into meal time, I recommend checking these plates out. They come in 5 different patterns.

    (This is a new series of articles on Fridays called “Favorite Things Friday” where I’ll be sharing some of my favorite things, products & life tips, in hopes that you might find it useful in some way for your family. Join me back here every Friday. Plus, every Favorite Things Friday article will have a giveaway on it!)

    Giveaway Time!  Win a Dinner Winner Tray

    As usual, I will include a Giveaway to go with each of these Favorite Things Friday articles each week. ☺️  Check back every Friday for more of my Favorite Things (and if you have some of your favorite things you are open to sharing, send me an email. See end of this article for details).

    For today’s giveaway, I’m giving away a FREE Dinner Winner Tray of your choice to 5 Readers! This giveaway starts on Friday September 7th and will end on Monday September 10th.  Winners will be announced on this blog only on Tuesday 9/11 before 12pm PST.  You’ll have 48 hours to claim your prize.

    To enter in this giveaway: leave a comment below and tell me about the kiddo you want to win this for. What are some of their favorite foods? Or you can tell me a useful tip you use at home or something you recently learned. Or you can tell me about some of your frustrations that you would love help with. And tell me where you’re reading from (city and state). Let me know by leaving a comment on this post.

    This post is NOT sponsored. I just really love this product and wanted to share my experience. All prizes are paid for by myself.

    Favorite Things Friday: Get Organized with KonMari Folding Method + Dream Drawers ❤️

    UPDATE: This Giveaway is now over! Winner announcement has been posted on my homepage. See more Giveaways being dropped on my blog here.

    (This is a new series of articles on Fridays called “Favorite Things Friday” where I’ll be sharing some of my favorite things, products & life tips, in hopes that you might find it useful in some way for your family. Join me back here every Friday. Plus, every Favorite Things Friday article will have a giveaway on it!)

    I’ve been on a journey this year to declutter my life and my house. As a child, I didn’t grow up in a very organized household. There was clutter and things everywhere. Every drawer you opened. Every surface… had clutter. And as an adult, I never learned the skills and habits to keep a home organized.

    Seeing that my home reflected that of the cluttered environment I grew up in, I felt really determined to take some action this year and to change.  I wanted to learn new habits and to invite more peace into our home. Plus, I didn’t want my kids to grow up in and to adopt the same bad habits I did.

    While I still have a lot to learn, and changing one’s habit is a process that will take time and practice. I’m really proud of what I’ve started to adopt into my family’s life so far.

    Marie Kondo’s book “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” was LIFE Changing! I started with the physical book but ended up listening to the Audiobook instead. If you wanna dive in quickly like me, I highly recommend that you listen to the audiobook – You’ll get thru it much faster, plus you can listen and tidy at the same time (that’s what I did lol).

    You can get TWO Free Audiobooks here if you are new to audible.

    If you listen to the audiobook, I do have to warn you that the narrative is a little dry. Listen for the content and power thru it. It’s worth it. 🙂 Okay. You’ve been warned … so you’re not surprised.

    If you follow me on SnapChat, you may have seen my transformation this year with decluttering my closet and re-doing the dresser drawer for each of my kids (and myself). Many of you wrote in and started doing the same (see pics below).

    One of the sweetest new habits I picked up from Marie Kondo is her method and philosophy on folding clothes:

    • Fold as much as you can instead of hanging
    • You can fold almost anything into a little rectangle shape (more on this later below) – Even underwear and socks
    • Store folded clothing vertically (standing up)
    • Give everything a home

    Ever since converting over to the “KonMari” folding method. Opening my drawers each morning to pick out a pair of tees, leggings, and socks has turned into a joyful ritual. I can’t explain it. You have to experience it to understand. And folding fresh laundry no longer feels like a chore. It feels like a peaceful medication that’s calming and fulfilling.

    How to Fold Clothes Using KonMarie Method

    I had a hard time visualizing and understanding her folding method from the audiobook, so I googled videos of Marie Kondo actually doing it.  And it made so much more sense to see it visually. There are tons of video on YouTube you can look into, but here are a few to get you started:

    I found that by converting to her folding method, not only does it look nice, you can fit a lot more into a dresser than stacking them flat. I used to use 3-4 drawers for the same content I now keep in one drawer.

    Tools I Love for Keeping Drawers Organized

    While you don’t need to buy any tools for KonMari folding method (you can use cardboards as dividers), I ended up using these Dial Dream Drawer Organizers as dividers for my dressers. It looks so much nicer to have these plastic dividers to separate the different sections. I’ve also tried these wood dividers but didn’t like them (they were hard to use and I don’t recommend it).

    For my kid’s drawers, I also got some of these clear storage trays for socks, underwear and swimsuits.

    That’s it! 🙂

    Here are more pics of examples using the clear trays for my daughter Sophie:

    When I started converting our dressers, I first started with my own clothing. I used to have several drawers and shelves, now have two fully converted dresser drawers that fit everything.  One drawer each for socks, underwear and bras. And one drawer for tops and leggings. I breakdown tops into tank tops, short sleeve tees and long sleeve tees.

    Both my kids dressers are now fully converted too. My kids have a lot more clothes than me. So they have a drawer for tops, a drawer for bottoms, a drawer for PJs, and since we’re in SoCal and swim a lot, a drawer for swimsuits.

    My son is on the Autism spectrum. Like all children who has ASD, he needs (and craves) structure. One of our biggest daily struggles is getting him ready in the morning, groomed and dressed. It’s chaos every morning! I started using the dream drawer dividers to carve out a spot for each day of the week in his dresser. I would pick out his clothes (including underwear and socks – not shown in pic above) at the start of the week, so mornings during the school week can go a little smoother.

    I wanted to share this pic of my son’s “days of week” drawer, just in case it’s helpful. I have been brainstorming different ideas and found this to be helpful for our family. I think even for children who doesn’t have Autism, this can be helpful in morning routines to get your young kiddos ready for school.

    I Want to See Your Progress

    If you plan to adapt this folding method into your life, I would LOVE, love, love to see pictures of your progress. Here are some pictures some of you already sent to me on SnapChat. I love seeing your pics. They make my day. ❤️

    Thank you @isabel_mn and @bluebudderfly for sharing these pics.
